About the JazzAmp Ten

12 years ago we released the JazzAmp because Bud Henriksen couldn’t find anything on the market that sounded the way he thought a jazz guitar amplifier should sound. A few versions and thousands of very satisfied customers later, we felt it was time to apply 12 years worth of experience and understanding and re-imagine a new JazzAmp for the next decade.

The new JazzAmp Ten! A single channel design with a Bluetooth aux input, the JazzAmp Ten has a 10″ speaker and a defeatable tweeter, combo 1/4″ input jack with phantom powered mic input, 5-band EQ, reverb, line out, ext. speaker out, headphone out and FX loop.

The JazzAmp Ten is 120 watts and is 10″ deep by 14″ wide by 14″ tall and only 23 lbs. It’s similar in size to earlier JazzAmp 10″ combos, but a little deeper with a sealed amplifier chamber for better low end response and a cleaner sound.

So how did we do ?

We sent the prototype home with our friend Sean McGowan, who has more experience with our amps than any other player in the world. He has put countless hours on everything we’ve ever built and is always our #1 test subject.

He sent us this text message:

“This is the best sounding mid-size combo you’ve ever built, and the best on the market! It’s so balanced, it’s insane. Fat low end but crystal clear, complex mids and highs.”

About the JazzAmps

The founder, Bud Henriksen, after searching for years for a guitar amplifier that sounded the way he thought it should for jazz guitar, finally decided to just build one the way he wanted it. Sticking to a few key principles such as an analog design with no filters and no tone controls, and keeping it simple with just an input and a 5-band EQ, the JazzAmp prototypes were born in 2005. The first production model was shipped in October of 2006, and the JazzAmp has since evolved to include significant increases in power and essential features which do not detract from the original tone of the first prototypes.

The Henriksen JazzAmp has proven itself to be THE jazz guitar amplifier for gigging jazz musicians over the past decade. The JazzAmp provides all the power, portability and features a jazz guitar or bass player needs with 120 watts of analog power, a 5 band graphic EQ, reverb, input gain control, studio grade line out, FX loop, extension speaker out and headphone out.
